Errors trying to use ProBlog on Home Page only

The site is a blog, thus my intention is to have the ProBlog on the home page and no other pages in the navigation. I have not been able to do this due to ProBlog adding another menu and failing to function, when trying to hide or to remove this.

Steps to reproduce:

* Install Concrete5.7 without sample content
* Install 'Global Theme' (but the problem also occurs in Elemental)
* Change Home Page Template to use Right Sidebar
* Install ProBlog (this creates an additional cascading menu called Blog in the site root)
* add a ProBlog List block as main content & some blog posts

Problems
* opening an individual blog post will link to the Blog-2015-... sub-menu
* hiding those Blog pages from Navigation leads to a timeout (Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded) when trying to read the post (the blog post never appears, this happened on 3 different installs)
* deleting the Blog menu from Sitemap leads to the following error:

After looking through the scattered documentation, I learned, that it needs the Attribute "Blog Section" enabled for the Home Page, thus allowing me to assign posts to this new section. After re-assigning the posts, the default 'Blog' menu can be deleted without errors.

But it leads to another problem: the ProBlog list on the Dashboard now shows every single page (including dozens of system pages) instead of just showing blog posts. This makes the list very cumbersome to use. Is there a fix, so that only ProBlog pages will be shown in this list?

Even with having the Blog moved to the home page and the blog section attribute enabled, the original problems recur in a similar way:

* The navigation shows a non-removable item '2015' with sub-menus
* changing this '2015' page attribute to 'Exclude from Nav' causes the following errors

* The '2015' page attribute cannot be changed back from the Sitemap to be visible again in navigation, as it has completely disappeared from all views

Thus the original question remains: how to use ProBlog to set up a blog on the home page without showing other items (like '2015' or 'Blog') in the main navigation?

Yes, this basically works now without errors and I have set it up this way. Now I would still like to see a solution for the issue I brought up in my second post (see the attached screenshot):

"But it leads to another problem: the ProBlog *list on the Dashboard now shows every single page* (including dozens of system pages) instead of just showing blog posts. This makes the list very cumbersome to use.

Is there a fix, so that only ProBlog pages will be shown in this list?"
